Doing The Civic Duty

It came in the mail. Shockingly. Since most of mail never arrives. This thing did. A jury summons.

Reading that line seems to make some people squirm or roll their eyes. "You can out of that by saying..."

Why would I want to do that? I am actually looking forward to doing my civic duty. It's part of the American process. Will I make a difference? Who knows. But at least I'll have something else to talk about.

The Facebook Show

Back on 20 July, 2017, I went live on Facebook and recorded part of this episode. What did we discuss? Facebook.

The question is this: Is Facebook as big as we are led to believe? Does it have the power to manipulate people as much as you would think? And, just how much original content exists on that social media platform?

In short, no and not much.

Literally Playing With A Radio

You know, I have not spent any significant time listening to AM/FM radio for over 6 years? Turns out, I haven't missed a damn thing. What was once a magnificent and wonderful industry has now been destroyed.

I predicted this many years ago. I said that, "... those corporate bastards will rape this industry and take everything good from it and after they do that, someday they will leave it's mangled corpse on the side of the road as remnant of something that happened."

But hey, I did manage to encounter The Pet Shop Boys... on AM.

Do Something

What is it that you do? I'm not talking about your occupation or your daily routine. We all (for the most part) have something kind of similar. Nothing unusual there.

People "do" different things. If they don't, then they seem to be missing something.

In the past, I have made mention of the audience working as my therapist. That sort of happens here. The difference here is the things we talk about here seem to be shared by just about all of you.

Plus music from Davy Ray & The Janks.

Back In The Saddle

It has been interesting few weeks here in Studio A. I took the time to take care of some upgrades in here. Nothing you listeners should notice. Most of what we have been doing is more along the lines of streamlining the work flow. I know, that sounded corporate.

Along the way, I did mange to witness one of life's rare moments when one human being has had enough. His bullshit meter has pegged and he is on the verge of snapping. When that snap happens, it can be interesting.

I witnessed this guy snap. It was fun.
